Yay!

I’ve been busy the last few weeks with tons of work, but this weekend is shaping up to be awesome. My friend Holden had a birthday party on Friday at a rollerskating rink. How cool is that?!  I haven’t skated since I was like ten but it came back to me quickly. Not that I’m a super-experienced skater, but I didn’t fall down, get run over, or have an epileptic fit from the lights, so that was good. Afterward we went to see Where the Wild Things Are, which I loved. (Usually I pick apart every movie we see, but this one was different.) I thought it was a moving meditation on what it’s like to be a child. All in all, a great time, spent with some awesome people celebrating one of my dearest friends.

After helping kidnap a pajama-clad Holden for a day-after-her-birthday celebratory breakfast, I have spent the afternoon in a cleaning frenzy, because MY MOM AND SISTER ARE COMING TO VISIT ME IN ONE HOUR YAY! They won’t be here too long but I’m looking forward to hanging out with them and introducing W. to the prayer room. They will be staying in my apartment. Which reminds me, I should probably go buy some groceries so I can feed them while they are here.
